I loved the gardens and also loved watching the birds in the trees and at the feeders. Breakfast was amazing and the mimosas and bloody Caesar’s were a nice touch. The beds were comfortable with quality pillows and bedding. The rooms were quaint and bathrooms were unique. Thanks for a great stay.

Spent a week here with husband and two college age girls in a family suite. Room was so spacious and wonderful with a fully equipped small kitchen, too. The included breakfast is phenomenal, food so varied and delicious and mimosas and Bloody Mary bar! The grounds and the views and the pool/hot tub are all just wonderful. It was a quick 10-ish minute drive to anything in town. We loved our stay so much!!!!

Decent place, you get what you pay for. The room was a bit outdated and the entire hotel lost power from 9pm to around 2am which was a bit inconvenient. The owner of the hotel drives and picks you up to a pair of restaurants he owns in the downtown area which was very nice. The property is nice and peaceful, next to a river.

My 12 year old daughter and I had a very comfortable stay. The room was basic but good. The grounds were beautiful -- I'd never seen a hummingbird in person before! My daughter enjoyed the pool, although it was small. The breakfast was excellent. And great service from the staff. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn Palo Alto. The staff was welcoming, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect! We especially enjoyed the beautiful gardens, and the large, delicious breakfast. The only inconvenience was that we could hear doors slamming when other guests entered or left their rooms or inside doors. It would be great if the hotel added something to soften the noise, or tell people to close doors slowly. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we’d definitely stay again. ¡Muchas gracias!

The property is very nice, and the property was picturesque, overlooking the river. They set out fruit daily for the birds, so we got to see some very colorful ones. The staff was very nice and were as helpful to us as much as they were able. They had a pool, a hot tub, and a gym, but we didn't use them. We didn't realize that the Inn was quite a ways from the majority of restaurants and businesses (more than 30 minute walk), has no options for food aside from breakfast, and that it was up a hill. If we had rented a car or found it easier to obtain cabs we could have overlooked these issues. However, being in a residential neighborhood, there were a number of roosters crowing throughout the day which woke me up daily as early as 3:45 am. We were on the street side, which unfortunately faced a bus stop and occasionally noisy traffic. All in all was a good stay and I would stay again with a car if not for the roosters.

The Inn at Palo Alto is a perfect complement to a stay in Boquete. Ownership and staff are attentive and friendly, whether you're a new guest or a returning friend. There are a variety of rooms to choose from, each offering a convenient breakfast and amenities. The pool/jacuzzi and fire pit are nice additions in recent years. The location near the top of the Boquete Valley is quiet with a nice view, soothing river and lots of busy hummingbirds.
